I recently received an '89 Ibanez 'Artstar' AR 200BK as part of a trade deal with another member here at TGP. I'll admit, I really didn't know what I was getting myself into with this guitar. However, I decided to "chance it" because I have always been more than happy with every Ibanez I have owned. Well, here we go again!!!! This guitar is awesome. It is so solidly built and plays and sounds so incredibly nice. As I mentioned every Ibanez I have had in the past has been great but this thing is unbelievable. It's quality easily exceeds the 400 dollar trade value. The humbuckers are clear, crisp, and round both clean and with gain. The remarkable thing about it is how it has stood the test of time. You would never know it was 19+ years old. It is black with beautiful MOP or Abalone square fret markers. It has really cool tuning pegs. I'm not sure what you would call them but they look fantastic on the thin, sleek headstock. The headstock, neck, and body are all bound in white and the headstock is adorned with a beautiful MOP or Abalone design. Everything about this guitar screams quality and taste!!! Here are some pictures of her. Anyone else have experience with these Artist Series Ibanez'?
